It is the mission of the College of Arts and Sciences to deliver a first-rate education dedicated
to the traditions and values of the liberal arts. These traditions include developing the skills of critical
reasoning, writing, reading and deduction and providing a firm grounding in the theories and methodologies of
the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences and mathematics. These values include a commitment to rigorous
questioning of principles and practices, intellectual integrity, community responsibility, and diversity of
perspectives in the pursuit of truth and social justice. Fundamental to a liberal education is the acquisition,
preservation, and transmission of new ideas and knowledge. Study within the College of Arts and Sciences broadens
and enriches a student's intellectual and cultural background. The College provides a core curriculum for all
students whatever their major fields or career goals. With specialized and interdisciplinary programs at the
undergraduate and graduate levels, the College strives to offer a wide variety of learning and research opportunities
to its students guided by nationally and internationally renowned faculty--faculty as passionate and intent on adding
to human understanding as they are to passing this understanding on to future generations.
